This invention relates to antibacterial 7beta-(carboxyalkenoylamino)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids represented by the following formula: ##STR2## (wherein R is aryl or a heterocyclic group;

R¹ is hydrogen or halogen;

R² is a single bond, alkylene, or thiaalkylene;

R³ is a hydrogen atom or carboxy modifying group;

R⁴ is hydrogen or methoxy;

R⁵ is hydrogen or a 3-substituent of cephalosporins;

R⁶ is a hydrogen atom or carboxy modifying group; and

X is oxygen, sulfur, or sulfinyl)

The following explains the variable groups of the formula (I):

R as aryl is optionally substituted phenyl. R as a heterocyclic group is an optionally substituted 5 or 6 membered monocyclic ring group containing 1 to 4 hetero atoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Representative rings are pyrryl, furyl, thienyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, tetrazolyl, thiatriazolyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl, and the like. Here, the said substituents include, among other conventional ones, alkyl, substituted alkyl, carboxy, protected carboxy, amino, protected amino, hydroxy, protected hydroxy, halogen, sulfamoyl, and the like. Among the protecting groups in the protected amino, preferred are 7 to 20C optionally substituted aralkyl (e.g., benzyl, benzhydryl, trityl, methoxybenzyl, dimethoxybenzyl, nitrobenzyl, methylbenzyl, dimethylbenzyl), 1 to 8C optionally substituted alkyl (e.g., trichloromethyl, trichloroethyl, trifluoromethyl, tetrahydropyranyl), substituted phenylthio 1 to 8C substituted alkylidene, 7 to 14C substituted aralkylidene, 5 to 8C substituted cycloalkylidene, acyl [e.g., 1 to 8C optionally substituted alkanoyl (e.g., formyl, acetyl, chloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl), 2 to 12C optionally substituted lower alkoxycarbonyl (in which the alkyl part is methyl, ethyl, propyl, cyclopropylethyl, isopropyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, trichloroethyl, pyridylmethyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, quinolylmethyl, or the like), 8 to 15C optionally substituted aralkoxycarbonyl (in which the aralkyl part is benzyl, diphenylmethyl, nitrobenzyl, or the like), succinyl, phthaloyl], trialkylsilyl, alkoxydialkylsilyl, trialkylstannyl, and the like.

Preferably R is one selected from phenyl, furyl, thienyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, optionally protected aminoisoxazolyl, thiazolyl, optionally protected aminothiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, and aminothiadiazolyl. An optionally protected aminothiazolyl is more preferable.

R¹ as halogen is fluorine or chlorine, especially chlorine. Preferably R¹ is hydrogen.

The alkylene part in R² is lower alkylene, preferably 1 to 3C alkylene, especially methylene.

R⁵ as a substituent of cephalosporins can be, among others, hydroxy, alkanoyloxy, halogen, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkenylthio, alkyl (e.g., methyl), alkenyl (e.g., vinyl, cyanovinyl, trifluoropropenyl), substituted methyl, or the like which are well known 3-substituents of cephalosporins. Here, the substituent in the said substituted methyl can be pyridinio, substituted pyridinio, halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyloxy (e.g., acetoxy, carbamoyloxy), alkylthio, haloalkylthio, cyanoalkylthio, heterocyclic thio (e.g., triazolylthio, methyltetrazolylthio, thiadiazolylthio optionally substituted by amino, aminomethyl, alkoxy, or methyl), triazolyl, tetrazolyl, or the like. The said alkyl part is preferably methyl. Preferably R⁵ is hydrogen, vinyl, carbamoyloxymethyl, tetrazolylthiomethyl, or thiadiazolylthiomethyl.

R³ or R⁶ as a carboxy-modifying group is preferably an ester forming group or salt forming atom or group each useful as a carboxy-protecting group or one for a medical derivative.

Preferably X is sulfur.

The said carboxy-protecting group is known in penicillin and cephalosporin fields as it can be introduced and removed without adverse effect on other part of the molecule. Representative are an inorganic salt (e.g., lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, aluminum, or ammonium salt), organic base salt, for example, alkylamine salt (e.g., ethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, piperidine, morpholine, N-methylmorpholine salt), aromatic amine salt (e.g., aniline, dimethylaniline salt), aromatic base salt (e.g., pyridine, picoline, lutidine, nicotinamide, quinoline salt), optionally substituted 1 to 8C alkyl ester (e.g., methyl, methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl, ethyl, methoxyethyl, trichloroethyl, iodoethyl, propyl, isopropyl, ethoxyethyl, methylthioethyl, methanesulfonylethyl, methanesulfonylmethyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, hexyl ester), 7 to 15C aralkyl ester (e.g., benzyl, methylbenzyl, dimethylbenzyl, methoxybenzyl, ethoxybenzyl, nitrobenzyl, aminobenzyl, phenethyl, diphenylmethyl, trityl, phthalidyl, phenacyl, di-t-butyl-hydroxybenzyl ester), 6 to 12C aryl ester (e.g., phenyl, tolyl, diisopropylphenyl, xylyl, trichlorophenyl, indanyl ester), 3 to 12C silyl ester (e.g., trimethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, dimethylmethoxysilyl ester), 3 to 12C stannyl ester (e.g., trimethylstannyl ester), 1 to 12C N-hydroxyamino ester (ester with e.g., acetone oxim, acetophenone oxim, acetaldoxim, N-hydroxysuccinimide, N-hydroxyphthalimide), 2 to 7C alkenyl ester (e.g., vinyl, propenyl, allyl ester), and the like. Anhydrides with carbonic or carboxylic acid, reactive amides, and the like are equivalent carboxy-protecting group. Said protecting part may further be substituted.

Preferably R³ and R⁶ as carboxy protecting groups are hydrogen, sodium, potassium, methyl, t-butyl, phenyl, indanyl, benzyl, cyanobenzyl, halobenzyl, methylbenzyl, nitrobenzyl, phenylbenzyl, or the like.

The protecting group is absent in objective products. So, its structure has in itself no specific meaning, as far as the group serves well for the protection and thus it can be replaced by a wide variety of equivalent groups.

Especially useful carboxy derivatives are medically available ones including light metal salts and pharmaceutically acceptable esters. The preferred light metals are those forming physiologically acceptable ions and belonging to the 1st to 3rd group, 2nd to 4th periods of the Periodical Table. Lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, aluminum, and the like are preferable. The pharmacological esters show antibacterial potency on administering orally or parenterally and include well known 3 to 12C 1-substituted alkyl esters, for example, alkanoyloxyalkyl esters (e.g., acetoxymethyl, acetoxyethyl, propionyloxyethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, pivaloyloxyethyl, tetrahydrofuryl, tetrahydropyranyl ester), 3 to 8C alkoxyformyloxyalkyl esters (e.g., ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl ester), 7 to 15C substituted aralkyl esters (e.g., phenacyl, phthalidyl ester), 6 to 12C substituted aryl esters (e.g., phenyl, xylyl, indanyl ester), and 2-alkenyl esters (e.g., allyl, 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolenylmethyl ester).

Both of the geometric isomers at the double bond in the 7-side chain are antibacterials. Among them, those having the R and R¹ in the cis position are more potent antibacterials. The other geometric isomers (trans) are useful also as an intermediate for preparing the corresponding cis isomer.

Some compounds closely related to Compounds (I) are disclosed in Japanese patent publication Kokoku No. 10,996/1967, Kokai No. 57-93982, and Belgian Pat. Nos. 816,408 and 888,389. These are not superior to Compounds (I) in their antibacterial activity, enteral or parenteral absorbability, excretion, or the like characteristics.

Compounds (I) are antibacterials against aerobic Gram-positive bacteria (e.g., Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus viridans, enterococci) and Gram-negative bacteria (e.g., Citrobacter diversus, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogens, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus morganii, Proteus vulgaris, Providencia rettgeri, Providencia stuartii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella typhi, Serratia marcescens, Shigella sonnei, Yersinia enterocolitica), including anaerobic bacteria (e.g., Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium difficile, Clostridium perfringens, Eubacterium lentum, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Propionibacterium spp, peptostreptococci, Veillonella spp.).

Especially, high anti-Gram-negative potency, high absorption, excretion, distribution, and the like are remarkable. As a medicine for preventing or treating a bacterial infection, Compound (I) is administered orally, parenterally, or topically at a daily dose of 10 micrograms to 6 grams, if required formulating with conventional additives or coacting substances, e.g., other antibacterials.

They are useful as bacteriocidal, bacteriostatic, disinfecting, or antiperishable agents and useful for treating or preventing human, veterinary, or poultry infections caused by sensitive Gram-positive bacteria or Gram-negative bacteria, including anaerobic bacteria. Further, they are useful as bacterial growth inhibitors on human, animal, plant, or perishable subjects, human or animal growth promoting additives in foodstuff, or as an agents for testing sensitivity of bacteria to the antibacterial (I).

Compound (I) as carboxylic acid or its light metal salt can be injected or infused intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously (as e.g., injection, pellet), or give orally (as oral preparations, e.g., capsule, dry syrup, emulsion, granules, powder, solution, suspension, tablet, troche), if required in admixture with an excipient (e.g., emulsifying agent). A pharmacological ester can be given intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, orally, externally, or topically (as e.g., ear, nasal, or ocular drug, ointment, inhalant, injection, pap preparation, spray, suppository).

Its pharmaceutically acceptable esters are also absorbed through the digestive organs.

Further, this invention provides an antibacterial pharmaceutical composition containing Compound (I) in various enteral or parenteral dosage forms solely or in admixture with carriers or coacting substances. The compositions may contain 0.01 to 99% of Compound (I) dissolved, dispersed, or suspended in solid or liquid pharmaceutical carriers.

The compositions may be solid preparations (e.g., capsule, dry syrup, granule, pellet, pill, powder, suppository, troche, tablet) or liquid preparations (e.g., dispersion, elixir, emulsion, inhalant, injection, ointment, suspension, syrup, solution from ampoule or vial containing crystals, lyophilized material, or powder). They can be flavored or colored, and capsules, granules, and tablets may be coated. They can be in a unit dosage form.

The carriers are harmless to both the Compound (I) and patients. Representative examples of such carriers are, among others, for solids, binders (e.g., acacia, carboxymethylcellulose, gelatin, glucose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium alginate, sorbitol, starch, syrup, tragacanth), bulking agents (e.g., bentonite, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, glycine, kaolin, lactose, polycarboxymethylene, salt, sorbitol, starch, sugar, talc), diluents (e.g., calcium carbonate, kaolin, lactose, starch, sucrose), disintegrators (e.g., agar, carbonates, sodium laurylsulfate, starch), lubricants (e.g., boric acid, cacao oil, magnesium stearate, paraffin, polyethylene glycol, silica, sodium benzoate, stearic acid, talc), and wetting agents (e.g., hydroxypropyl cellulose); for solutions, solvents (e.g., alcohol, buffer, methyl oleate, peanut oil, sesame oil, water), emulsifying agents (e.g., acacia, lethicin, sorbitan monooleate), suspending agents (e.g., aluminum stearate gel, carboxymethyl cellulose, gelatin, glucose, hydrogenated fats, hydroxyethylcellulose, methyl cellulose, sorbitol, sugar syrup), buffers, dispersing agents, and solubilizing agents; and for both, preservatives (e.g., methyl or ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, sorbic acid), absorption promoters (e.g., glycerin mono- or di-octanoate), antioxidants, aromatic substaces, analgesics, edible coloring agents, stabilizing agents, and the like.

All of above pharmaceutical preparations can be prepared in conventional manner.

This invention also provides Carboxyalkenoic acid (10) useful as an intermediate for preparing the said Compound (I) ##STR3## (wherein R, and R¹ to R⁶ are as defined for Compound (I)).

In the formula above, examples of the preferred R are phenyl, thienyl, aminoisoxazolyl, thiadiazolyl, aminothiadiazolyl, and aminothiazolyl, said amino can be protected with benzyloxycarbonyl, methylbenzyloxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, methoxyethoxymethyl, formyl, chloroacetyl, benzylidene, dimethylaminomethylidene, or the like; preferably R¹ is hydrogen; preferably R² is 1 to 3C optionally branched alkylene, especially methylene; and examples of preferably R³ and R⁶ are the same or different groups selected from hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, t-butyl, trichloroethyl, benzyl, methylbenzyl, diphenylmethyl, trityl, and the like.

Compounds of this invention can be synthesized, for example, by the following methods:

(1) Salt Formation

Compound (I) having carboxy or the cephem nucleus at position 4 or in the 7-substituent can form a light metal salt (I) by reacting with a base or by an exchange reaction with the corresponding light metal salt of other carboxylic acid. The procedure can be that conventional in the art, e.g., by neutralizing the free acid (with a base, e.g., light metal hydroxide, carbonate, or hydrogen carbonate) and evaporating the solvent, or by treating with light metal lower carboxylate in a polar organic solvent (e.g., alcohol, ketone, ester) and then adding a sparingly dissolving less polar solvent to separate the salt. The solvent may be removed by filtering.

(2) Deprotection of Carboxy-Protecting Groups Etc.

A protected-carboxy in Compound (I) can conventionally be deprotected, for example, as follows:

(a) A highly reactive ester or anhydride as a carboxy-protecting group can be deprotected by contacting in an aqueous solvent with an acid, base, buffer solution, or ion exchange resin. When its reactivity is insufficient, one can increase it in a conventional manner to deprotect more easily (e.g., by activating of a trichloroethyl ester with metal and acid; p-nitrobenzyl ester with hydrogen and catalyst (e.g., palladium, nickel), dithionate, or metal and acid; and phenacyl ester with irradiation).

(b) An aralkyl ester can be deprotected by a conventional catalytic reduction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., platinum, palladium, nickel).

(c) An aralkyl, cyclopropylmethyl, sulfonylethyl, or the like ester can be deprotected by solvolyzing [with a mineral acid, Lewis acid (e.g., aluminium chloride, tin chloride, titanium tetrachloride), sulfonic acid (e.g., methanesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid), strong carboxylic acid (trifluoroacetic acid), or the like], if required in the presence of a cation scavenger.

An amino-protecting group in Compound (I) can conventionally be deprotected, for example, as follows: substituted alkyl (e.g., tetrahydropyranyl), aralkyl group (.g., trityl), alkylidene, aralkylidene, alkanoyl (e.g. formyl), trialkylsilyl, trialkylstannyl, or the like can be deprotected with an aqueous or nonaqueous acid; an alkoxyformyl (e.g., t-butoxycarbonyl), aralkoxyformyl (e.g., benzyloxycarbonyl, methylbenzyloxycarbonyl), aralkyl (e.g., trityl), or the like can be deprotected with a Lewis acid in the presence of an acid scavenger; haloalkoxycarbonyl (e.g., trichloroethyl, iodoethoxycarbonyl), aralkoxycarbonyl (e.g., benzyloxycarbonyl), or the like can be deprotected by reduction; and phenylthio or acyl (e.g., alkanoyl, succinyl, phthaloyl) can be deprotected with a base.

Deprotection of other protecting groups for hydroxy or the like functional groups in Compound (I) can be carried out according to methods well known in the field of penicillin and cephalosporin chemistry as described in various scientific and patent publications.

(3) Amidation ##STR4##

A conventional reaction of Amine (II) or its reactive derivative with Carboxylic acid (III) or its reactive derivative gives Compound (I) or its derivatives.

The reactive derivative of Amine (II) is that having 7-amino activated by silyl (e.g., trimethylsilyl, methoxydimethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl), stannyl (e.g., trimethylstannyl), alkylene (as a part of enamino of the amino with e.g., aldehyde, acetone, acetylacetone, acetoacetate, acetoacetonitrile, acetoacetanilide, cyclopentanedione, acetylbutyrolactone), alkylidene (e.g., 1-haloalkylidene, 1-haloaralkylidene, 1-alkoxyalkylidene, 1-alkoxyaralkylidene, 1-alkoxy-1-phenoxyalkylidene, alkylidene, aralkylidene), acid (e.g., mineral acid, carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid as a salt of the amino), easily removable acyl (e.g., alkanoyl), or the like, or that protected at other functions of the molecule.

Free acid (III) is reacted in the presence of a condensing reagent [carbodiimide (e.g., N,N'-diethylcarbodiimide, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide), carbonyl compound (e.g., carbonyl diimidazole), isoxazolinium salt, acylamino compound (e.g., 2-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline), etc.].

The reactive derivative of Carboxylic acid (III) can be an acid anhydride, e.g., symmetric anhydride or mixed anhydride [with mineral acid (e.g., phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrohalogenic acid, carbonic half ester), organic acid (e.g., alkanoic acid, aralkanoic acid, sulfonic acid), intramolecular anhydride (e.g., ketene, isocyanate), etc.], acid halide, reactive ester [enol ester (e.g., vinyl ester, isopropenyl ester), aryl ester (e.g., phenyl ester, halophenyl ester, nitrophenyl ester), heterocyclic ester (e.g., pyridyl ester, benzotriazolylester), an ester with N-hydroxy compound, diacylhydroxylamine ester (e.g. N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, N-hydroxyphthalimide ester), thioester (e.g., aralkyl thiol ester, heterocyclic thiol ester) or the like], or reactive amide [aromatic amide (amide with e.g., imidazole, triazole, 2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline), diacylanilide]. The acid scavenger to be used with the said derivative is, for example, inorganic base (e.g., oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, hydrogen carbonate, of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, etc.), organic base (e.g., tertiary amine, aromatic base), oxirane, (e.g., alkylene oxide, aralkylene oxide), pyridinium salt (e.g., tripyridiniumtriazine trichloride), adsorbent (e.g., Celite), or the like.

(4) Introduction of 3-Function

Compound (I) having 3-nucleophile substituted-methyl can be prepared by reacting an analog of Compound (I) having a leaving group-substituted methyl at the 3 position on the cephem ring with a heterocyclic thiol, aromatic base, or its reactive derivatives. Here, the leaving group can be, among others, halogen, sulfonyloxy, alkanoyloxy, dihaloalkanoyloxy, trihaloacetoxy, or the like. The said reactive derivative of thiol can be, among others, alkali metal salt, ammonium salt, carboxylate ester, or the like. The reaction can be carried out well in a dry or wet solvent at 0° C. to 60° C. This reaction can be promoted with a dehydrating reagent, phosphoryl chloride compound, rhodanate, or the like.

Compound (I) having 3-acyloxymethyl (e.g., alkanoyloxymethyl, carbamoyloxymethyl) can be made from the corresponding 4-protected carboxy-3-hydroxymethyl-3-cephem derivative by the action of an acylating reagent for introducing the corresponding acyl group.

Compound (I) having no carbon linked to the 3-positon can be made from the corresponding 3-hydroxy-3-cephem or its oxo form, for example, by activating the 3-hydroxy (e.g., acylating or halogenating), and then substituting it with a nucleophilic reagent to give a 3-nucleophile substituted compound; a basic or thermal elimination reaction of the corresponding 3-(hydroxy, acyloxy, or halo)cepham compounds or a reduction of 3-(acyloxy or halo)-3-cephem compounds to give a 3-hydrogen-3-cephem compound; or the like conventional 3-modification.

(5) Isomerization at the 7-side chain double bond ##STR5##

The said geometric isomers are interconvertible by isomerization. This reaction is preferably carried out in a protic solvent by the action of acid, base, or light. The acid can be a mineral acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid), carboxylic acid (e.g., formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid), sulfonic acid (e.g., methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid), or the like.

In a typical condition, Compound (I) as free carboxylic acid is dissolved in water at pH 8, acidified to pH 0 to 1, kept at 0° C. to 100° C. for 1 to 10 hours to obtain an epimic mixture. Thermally stable isomer is in trans form. Usual separation (e.g., crystallization, precipitation, high precision liquid chromatography, adsorption and elution) gives the geometric isomers in a pure form.

(7) Synthesis of the Side Chain Fragment Acids

The 7-side chain acids are novel compounds prepared by Wittig type reaction of Formylacetate (IV) or its enol or acetal with Alkylidenetriarylphosphorane (V) by heating, e.g., at 30° C. to 120° C. for 1 to 10 hours, to give Nonconjugated ester (VI) the double bond of which migrates to give Conjugate ester (VII): ##STR6## (wherein and R²⁰ is alkylene or a single bond) or of Oxalate (VIII) with Alkylidenetriarylphosphorane (IX), e.g., at 30° C. to 120° C. for 1 to 10 hours to give Conjugate ester (VII).

The products can be obtained from a reaction mixture by removing contaminants (e.g., solvents, unreacted starting materials, by-products) by a conventional method (e.g., extracting, evaporating, washing, concentrating, precipitating, filtrating, drying), and isolating the product by a usual work up (e.g., adsorbing, eluting, distilling, precipitating, separating, chromatographing), or a combination of said procedures.

(10) Oral Availability

Some compounds (I) having methylene as R² are absorbed well through the digestive argons and are available as oral cephalosporins. Especially efficient are those having 2-aminothiazol-4-yl as R, hydrogen as R³ and R⁶, and hydrogen, vinyl, cyanovinyl, trifluoropropenyl, acetoxymethyl, carbamoyloxymethyl, or thiadiazolylthiomethyl as R⁵ and salts of these. It is to be noted that compounds (I) having a single bond, dimethylene, or trimethylene as R² or that having no carboxylic 7beta-side chain are practically unabsorbed enterally. A compound having amino in R can form a salt by mixing with an acid, e.g., mineral acid (e.g. HCl), carboxylic acid (TFA).
